A Sculptor's Poverty.

nj. Anatole France relates the follow
ing anecdote to illustrate the poverty
which is the fate of many modern sculp-
tors In the Ecole des Beaux-Arts can
be seen bronze Mercury without
right arm. 1t was the last work of
Briant, who, though the recipient of
the Prix de Rome, could hardly earn
enough to pay for his bread. He lived
in a garret and never warmed his room
unless model was sitting. One night
it became so cold that he took all his
clothes and threw them on his bed.
Suddenly he remembered his Mercury,
and that the cold might freeze the clay
and spoil his master-work; SO he took
his clothes off his bed again and put
them oyer the statue. Next morning
he was found dead in his bed, frozen,
as was his statue; and when an attempt
was made to remove it, the arm broke
of.-Paras Temps.

THE BEST POLICY.

Doctor Considers Honesty the First
Great Essential in Sick-Room.
"What is the first great essential in
the sick-room?"
Three score or more of young nurses
struggled with this question at re-
cent examination until their heads,
hearts and hands ached, and the old
gray-headed professor who put the
question smiled and shook his head in
up and tried to answer the conundrum
in manner satisfactory to their aged
and experienced interrogation. The
answers ranged from ''quietude "air"
and ga patient through the list of
pharmaceutical preparations down to
ga good DOCTOR and 'a good nurse"
when finally the professor answered the
question himself
Honesty. That is the first great
thing necessary in a sick room," said
he. 1.-THE best time to begin the
career of an honest nurse is when yon
first enter the sick-room. Do so bold

Any appearance of mystery only ex-
cites them and should by avoided. It
is also well to do all things necessary

honest in the extreme. Because sick

that he is asleep. He may be acutely
conscious of all that 10 going on. Do
not be officiously attentive Such
practice is really one of the most COM
